Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I have to get an email from you in order to sign up?

We do this for security reasons (to avoid spam) for our Ourdoor Baby website, and to record the fact that you have accepted the privacy policy and may come back in the future without our review.

Once I have submitted a story and you published it, will I be free to publish on my own after that?

We will review and post your first story. After that, while we will be monitoring stories that are submitted, accepted members stories will publish automatically.

What We Accept

This site only accepts tasteful stories, tips, tricks or questions about outdoor travel with your children. If pictures or stories are in any way crude, violent, of a sexual nature, or depict harm to people, the environment, or animals, they will not be published.  If we are concerned about the welfare of your child we may try to contact authorities.  That said, we are not against breast feeding or nudity per se, and will publish pictures that are appropriate.  We just want to make sure that our subscribers are not offended by the content of this site.

How or why resize my picture?

Digital cameras typically take pictures at very high resolutions: 300 dpi or higher. The web has a low resolution of 72 dpi. When uploading a digital photo from your camera, it comes out very large on the screen - too large for people to see the whole image on their computers. It also creates a very large file (several MB - megabites). This slows down the viewing for everyone while loading your picture. You can save your pictures off your camera to your desktop as 72 dpi (see instructions in your photo editing software or camera software) or, you can re-size your images online! Here's how.
